Default Carpet Ripples!

Anyone have a solution to correcting carpet "ripples" short of having the
carpet re-stretched? Carpet is installed over concrete slab with padding.
Thanks.

Can you supply more details? Is your carpet installed normally with
tack strips? If so, you will need to have it re-stretched.

Home Depot has knee-kickers that might help you out.

Ripples in carpet are something that is easy to fix. If you can find a knee
kicker, DIY. If not, find a carpet guy and get it done right. No sense of
fixing something half way.
